My Bargains

I just got back from my weekly trip to Walgreens and Rite Aid and just had to show you what I got for so cheap. I also headed over to Staples to grab my Free Universal Remote that I desperately needed since the one upstairs is being held together with a rubberband (for about 2 years now) Sad but true. I love these kind of weeks. It just reminds me so much why I do this. I have said it many times that I can’t afford NOT to do it. So all said I spent a whopping $4.71 on 27 items and saved $92.34! I am doing the extra big happy dance today.

Here is what I got at Walgreens today…I hit the Cottonelle motherload. It was on the clearance rack for $0.95 per pack. So I got 7 packs. I promise I left some for others.

I Only Spent $10.71 Out of Pocket! SAVED $55.62!!!

7 Big Roll 4 pks of Cottonelle
2 can of Cream of Mushroom soup
1 John Frieda Conditioner
2 Maybelline Lip Glosses
2 packages of Halls Cough drops
2 large bars of Lindt Dark Chocolate (hubby’s fav)
1 box of Band Aids
2 packs of Trident Layers Gum

Then I headed across the street to Rite Aid….yes, we are lucky anough to have all 3 drug stores at one intersection in our town. And I got all my FREEBIES. Yep…FREEBIES AND I ACTUALLY WILL MAKE $6.00 AFTER REBATES. And I’m ready for any colds that come our way.

I spent $20.73 Out of Pocket but will get back $26.73 in REBATES! (Remember to submit your rebates immediately online so you don’t forget)

1 Sucrets Herbal Throat Lozenges
1 3 pack of Carmex Lip Balm Tubes

Every now and then I like to post my bargain purchases to keep you encouraged that the bargains are abundant. I also have more encouragement from my friend Katie that took major advantage of Harris Teeter’s triple coupons last week. She called me from her car so excited.

So here is what I got at Rite Aid last week: I got 13 items for FREE and actually made $1.10!!! $59.97 worth of stuff and I made $1.10 by using coupons and matching them with sale items and rebates. It just makes me giggle with excitement:)

And my friend Katie’s bargains at Harris Teeter were her best yet she said. She got 24 items for $13.40 and saved $59.53!!! Yea Katie

I would love to hear from any of you about any of the bargains you snag!

I have been lovin’ Rite Aid the past few weeks. Today I bought 14 items for $2.33! (after rebates, of course) I always come home and input my receipts online right away.

I haven’t been posting my bargains for a while b/c I just can’t seem to get the picture taken quick enough. So I thought I would give you a little encouragement to keep you going.

My 13 year old son (otherwise known as hungry boy) was with me today so note the Slim Jim’s that were begged for and of course I had no coupon for that:) Shucks…had to spend that .99. Could have had it all for $1.34. He he!

Go here for the complete list at Rite Aid this week. I used the $5 off $25 Coupon too.

As some of you may know, I had set a goal to spend less than $100 per week on groceries for my family of 4, which includes a very hungry teenage son. I just added up my May receipts and am so excited…..I only spent $403!! Yippee!!! This is huge to me because I used to spend twice that. I now save us (or I really like to think of it as….”made us”) $400 a month. My next goal is to lower it to $75/week (or even less eventually). I have seen others do it and now I’m on a mission. It’s important to know, too, that I do not sacrifice quality. I like to cook well balanced meals for my family and that is another goal when shopping.

To start with, I use The Grocery Game at http://www.thegrocerygame.com/ . If you’re not familiar with it, it matches up sales and coupons at the store that is participating in your area. This lets me buy things at 60-70% off regular price, i.e I get 3 boxes of cereal for the price of 1.

Then I go to another store just down the road to buy all my other groceries because they are just cheaper on everything. It’s such a no flare, really crowded store but it is so much cheaper I just have to go. If you want to try The Grocery Game, they offer a 4 week trial for free to see if you like it. (Please use swchenery@hotmail.com as your referral if you don’t mind.) You do need to start stocking up on coupons, which only takes a few weeks.

Take advantage of using all the online printables at Coupons.com and others listed in my sidebar. I can’t say it enough..I love coupons and saving all this money! It is so worth it, it’s so fun and, believe me, it is not time consuming. If it was, then I would have a hard time doing it.

Do you have any tips for saving on groceries? I would love to hear.
